Aerodynamics Engineer – NASCAR Cup Series – North Carolina – $DOE

Description

You’ll work closely with race engineers, simulation teams, and fabrication groups to deliver compliant, high-performance aero solutions within the NASCAR rulebook. This is a fast-paced, hands-on engineering position where your work directly influences race-winning performance.

• Analyse race telemetry, wind tunnel data, and CFD outputs to identify performance gains.
• Stay updated with all NASCAR technical bulletins, inspection procedures, and rule changes.
• Design and optimise aero components (splitters, spoilers, underbody, body panels) within NASCAR regulations.
• Contribute to aero map development and simulation-based setup tools used by race engineering teams.
• Work with cutting-edge tools, testing facilities, and a high-performing engineering group.
• Play a direct role in shaping the aerodynamic performance of a top-tier Cup Series programme.
• Perform detailed aerodynamic analysis using CFD tools to support race car development.
• Collaborate with vehicle dynamics and simulation teams to integrate aero data into performance models.
• Produce high-quality technical documentation and communicate insights to engineering leadership.
• Support scale-model and full-scale wind tunnel tests, including instrumentation setup and data interpretation.
• Provide trackside support, correlation reviews, and post-race analysis as required.

Requirements

We are seeking a highly skilled and performance-driven Aerodynamics Engineer to join a leading NASCAR Cup Series programme. This role is central to the design, simulation, correlation, and optimisation of aerodynamic components that have a direct impact on on-track competitiveness.

• Minimum 2 years of experience in motorsport aerodynamics - NASCAR, IndyCar, F1 or similar.
• Skilled in Python, MATLAB or similar tools for automation and analysis.
• Good understanding of NASCAR regulations and compliance-driven aero design.
• Applicants must be eligible to work in the U.S. (no visa sponsorship available).
• Able to operate in a high-pressure, competitive motorsport environment.
• Wind tunnel testing experience including instrumentation, data acquisition and correlation.
• Strong grounding in fluid dynamics, vehicle dynamics, and performance engineering.
• Strong CFD capability (ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM) with solid CAD experience (CATIA, SolidWorks).
• Motorsport hours apply - flexibility and track support required.
